YANMAR LX450 TIRES
The Yanmar Lx450 tractor features versatile tire options, allowing it to effectively operate in agricultural, lawn, and industrial applications. The choice of AG tires (8-16 front and 14.9-24 rear) prioritize traction and soil penetration for farming, while lawn/turf tires (27/12LL-15 front and 22.5LL-16.1 rear) reduce ground disturbance on grassed areas. The industrial tires (10-16.5 front and 17.5LL-24 rear) enhance durability and stability, making the tractor suitable for construction and material handling, though potential drawbacks include limited performance on soft or muddy terrain with non-AG tires.
| Ag front | 8-16 |
| Ag rear | 14.9-24 |
| Lawn/turf front | 27/12LL-15 |
